This was probably caused by the following module: atikmdag.sys (atikmdag+0x28ECE)
Bugcheck code: 0xA0000001 (0x5, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
Error: CUSTOM_ERROR

A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: atikmdag.sys (ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.).
Google query: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. CUSTOM_ERROR

I did a fresh install of the latest drivers (not the beta drivers). Everything is up to date, but whenever I try to play a game I'll be able to play for about 5 minutes before I'm greeted with a blue screen.

How would I go about doing this?

 

[scout_03]

unninstall the 14.4 driver and load back the 13.12 to see if this solve your issue .

Are you sure? because I had these issues yesterday when I still had the 13.12 drivers.

did you check that gpu in another system and try to boot using only one ram module .

No other system to try it in, and I tested my RAM using the windows memory diagnostic so I'm pretty sure my sticks of RAM are fine.

 

[scout_03]

you could also use the memtest .org for the memory do your motherboard have a onboard video chipset you could try .

I'll get it and use it.
You want me to disable my graphics card and play with onboard graphics to see if it blue screens?

 

[scout_03]

shut down system and remove gpu that will permit to see if system blue screen with the onboard one .

I ran one pass of memtest on my PC (didn't have time to wait for more than 1) and it turned up 2 errors, does this mean it's my RAM that's messing up?

I don't think it'll apply since this PC was built for me so I'm not the original buyer. The main reason I've been having problems was because someone built it for me because I knew jack shit about PC parts, etc. when I had it built

so it gone be hard to get the purchasing bill you will have to get new ones .

So do you think it's my RAM that's causing my blue screens and not the graphics card?

 

[scout_03]

to make shure you need to test the gpu in another system but ram with error do not help .
